Chapter 19 The True Identity of the Mysterious Assistant
Wu Nan's tightly clenched fists relaxed a little, and he said gloomily, "Of course I thought about divorce and wanted to start over, but when I made up my mind to end this marriage, I suddenly found out that Dong Xing had an affair."
"Is it Wang Mengxian?" Yu Miaomiao asked.
"No, Wang Mengxian was just one of Dong Xing's girlfriends. She hadn't come to the hospital for internship at that time. The woman was a doctor at Beidu Central Hospital and was younger than Dong Xing. I originally thought that Dong Xing started having an affair after he was confirmed to be infertile, but that was not the case. He and the woman had known each other for a long time and had always maintained an ambiguous relationship." Wu Nan explained.
"Is the person Dong Xing is having an affair with the same person as the first assistant he performed surgery on secretly?" Han Yun asked, remembering the 'mysterious assistant' that Wang Mengxian mentioned earlier.
"Maybe, I don't know, but when I found out that Dong Xing had an affair with that woman, Dong Xing hadn't had surgery outside without permission. At the time, I thought that even if my relationship with Dong Xing broke down, I would not allow a third person to replace me and become the mistress of this family. As long as we didn't divorce, he couldn't marry that woman, so after that, I buried the idea of divorce in my heart." Tears flashed in Wu Nan's eyes. She raised her hand to wipe her eyes and choked up and said, "Dong Xing will not take the initiative to file for divorce, which will affect his image in the hospital. However, in the days that followed, although we lived under the same roof, we had become strangers. We never ate together or lived in the same room. He would only let me go when there were gatherings where family members had to be brought along. Then, in front of outsiders, we acted in love and maintained the illusion of a happy family."
"You should know the woman's name, right?" Yu Miaomiao took a deep breath and asked, "Also, when did you know that Dong Xing was performing surgery on the poor in the old building?"
"That woman's name is Chu Rong. I went to the Central Hospital to inquire about her and even hired a private detective to investigate her and Dong Xing. I learned that they had been having an affair for a long time and it had never ended. They were both from the same medical school." Wu Nan picked up the cup again, took a sip of water, moistened his throat and said, "Two years after we started sleeping in separate rooms and beds, I began to notice that Dong Xing often went out in the middle of the night. We had been living our own lives for a long time, so I didn't care. It was another two years later that I learned that Dong Xing was operating in the old building, and the assistant next to him at the time was Wang Mengxian."
"What you and Dong Xing mean by living your own lives is that you are also busy in your love life, can I understand it this way?" Han Yun straightened up and looked at the wedding photos of Wu Nan and Dong Xing on both sides of the TV cabinet, and asked thoughtfully.
"What do you mean?" Wu Nan frowned, a little angry: "Dong Xing had an affair and betrayed me and this family. I hate this very much, so I won't do this."
"The relationship between you is in name only. Even if you have a love life outside, we can understand." Han Yun looked at Wu Nan: "So why do you have to hide it by all means?"
"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. You are tarnishing my reputation by saying this." Wu Nan said this, turned his head away and said to Han Yun and Yu Miaomiao, "I don't want to answer your groundless suspicions anymore."
"If we weren't absolutely sure, we wouldn't have said such a thing." Han Yun took out the membership card of the 'Sophie Fitness Center' at Bai Jing's house, placed it on the coffee table, and continued: "Before coming here, we went to find someone named Zhao Baoying, and she has confessed everything."
Hearing the name 'Zhao Baoying', Wu Nan blinked and tried to remain calm and said, "I don't understand what you are talking about."
"You two should be very good friends, right? But even so, she is facing a criminal case now. Do you think she will keep everything secret for you?" Han Yun curled his lips and smiled, paused for a moment and continued: "And now it's not just one person who died, but two, and both of them are related to you. If you don't say anything, we have the right to suspect that you killed your husband Dong Xing and your lover Bai Jing."
Wu Nan bit her lip and remained firm: "What a joke, I don't even know who Bai Jing is." After saying that, she lowered her head and glanced at the membership card, then continued: "Yes, I did go to this gym to work out. At that time, I was shopping with Zhao Baoying. I didn't have my ID card with me, so I used her ID card to apply for a membership card. I just went to the gym."
"I just drove here and I saw there are at least five gyms nearby. Why did you choose such a far place?" Yu Miaomiao asked.
"I just heard that the gym has complete equipment, a good environment, and the coaches are serious and responsible." Wu Nan took a deep breath and said, "Aren't these reasons enough? If you suspect that I went to such a far place to exercise in order to meet my lover, you can go to this fitness center and check the surveillance to see if I have chatted with anyone or made any sexual moves with anyone during the exercise."
"We checked, and there really isn't one." From the description of the coach at Sophie's Fitness Center, Bai Jing was very serious when working out, so Wu Nan and Bai Jing must have had no contact in the gym. Now seeing Wu Nan so confident, Han Yun was more convinced of this, so he said, "Of course you won't show off your affection in the gym. After all, the age gap is a bit big and it will attract attention. In fact, for a woman of your age, the chance of meeting true love is not high, so you should cherish it, right?"
"I already said I was just going to the gym." Wu Nan raised his voice and reminded.
"That's right. A woman who is almost fifty years old and dating a thirty-year-old boy is not confident. You know that he has the habit of working out every day, and you are afraid that he will pick up girls in the gym and abandon you. So the only way you can think of is to go over and watch him. Whenever he goes to the gym, you go over." Han Yun ignored Wu Nan's emotions and continued, "This is normal. After all, there are many women with good figures in the gym. Because he knows you are watching him, Bai Jing never dares to have too much contact with other women when he is working out, and he dares not chat with them randomly."
"It was Dong Xing who cheated on me, my husband, not me. Why do you say it's as if I made a big mistake?" Wu Nan's body trembled slightly. She picked up the water cup and wanted to take a sip to calm down, but found that there was no water in the cup, so she put the cup down: "I'm very tired now. If your next questions are still of this kind, I'm sorry, I want to rest."
Facing the order to leave, Yu Miaomiao glanced at Han Yun. Han Yun had no intention of leaving. He stood up, bent over, picked up the teapot, refilled Wu Nan's cup with water, sat down again and said, "I don't understand. We know that Dong Xing has let you down. Moreover, you have been alone in an empty room for so many years, feeling lonely. It is understandable that you want someone to love you. This is not an unforgivable crime. Why do you have to hide it? Now that Dong Xing and Bai Jing are dead, I think even if you don't care who killed Dong Xing , you must care about Bai Jing. You hope that the police can catch the murderer of Bai Jing as soon as possible, right? But if you still refuse to admit it, it will undoubtedly make the police take a lot of detours, and the murderer will continue to be at large. Could it be..."
